Nat Kendall-Taylor on Narrative and Why the Way We Talk About Social Issues Matters

People don't make deci­sions based on facts alone. They rely on sto­ries and assump­tions to make sense of com­plex issues like juvenile jus­tice, eco­nom­ic oppor­tu­ni­ty and child well-being. Those nar­ra­tives shape not only what peo­ple believe but also the solu­tions they are will­ing to support. On this episode of CaseyCast, Foundation President and CEO Lisa Lawson talks with Nat Kendall-Taylor, CEO of the FrameWorks Institute, about why facts alone rarely change minds, how framing shapes public understanding and how stories grounded in research can build support for solutions that help children, youth and families thrive.
